Conch and Bucket wine tasting and sale coming up Dec. 9

This year, Peter Pittman’s “Twenty for Twenty” wine tasting and sale will begin at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 9, at his Conch and Bucket restaurant in downtown Hampton.

For a $20 admission, guests can taste 20 different wines Pittman has selected. He also prepares four specialty soups to pair with the wines. The selections may include two of his favorites, Scotch Broth and Veloute Chartreuse, a French soup made with foie gras. There’ll be cheeses and breads as well.

After the tasting, guests will be able to purchase the wines at good discounts in time for the holidays.

“It’s a chance to stock up for the holidays on things you can’t get in the wine shops,” says Pittman.
